ELECTRICAL CONDUCTOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 759,119, dated May 3, 1904,

Application filed September 1Q, 1902. Serial No. 122,901. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PERCY ALLAN M0- GEoReE, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of est Hoboken, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Electric Conductors, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a new and useful conductor for electric currents.

The nature of the invention will be readily comprehended, reference being had to the following detailed description and to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of a conductor embodying my invention. Figs. 2,3, and 4 are perspective views of modified forms of the conductor.

Referring first to Fig. 1, A B denote divided or flattened current-conducting wires or members which are electrically equivalent and which are placed in juxtaposition and maintained, as by Wrapping, in geometrical parallelism with a bar C between them throughout their length and connecting them magnetically. The wires or members are suitably insulated by a composition of matter for example, dry gelatin, one hundred parts; bichroinate of ammonia, two and one-half parts; glycerin, ten parts.

Fig. 2 shows a modification in which divided or flattened wires D E are laid in parallel grooves provided in a tile F and are separated by a magnetic ridge G, which is the equivalent of the bar C. The wires are insulated in a manner similar to that above set forth.

Fig. 3 represents aconductor similar to that shown in Fig. 1, with the difference that the divided or flattened wires H I are separated by a perforate magnetic bar J.

In Fig. 1 wires K L, circular in cross-section, are separated by a double-concave magnetic bar M.

In use the conductor serves to conduct magnetism, as Well as electric currents, it being understood that the central bar constitutes the magnetic conductor.

I claim 1. A metallic conductor for electric current comprised of juxtaposed current-conducting electrically equivalent members, means for maintaining said members in geometrical parallelism, meansbetween said members connecting the latter magnetically, and material between the means and members insulating the latter electrically.

2. A metallic conductor for electric current comprised of a divided wire or ribbon said divisions being juxtaposed and constituting the current-conductors, means for maintaining said divisions in geometrical parallelism, a soft-iron armature between said divisions connecting the latter magnetically, and electric insulating material between said divisions and armature.

Signed at 162 East Twenty-third street, in the county of New York and State of New York, this 26th day of May, A. D. 1902.
